Bruce always does a job for us. Rafa never managed to take full three points from Bruce's team. Lets hope he does the holy job again.
Chelsea will hammer Wigan easy!

Wigan boss Bruce would love to do Man Utd favour
tribalfooball.com - April 14, 2008
Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce would love to do Manchester United a favour and defeat Chelsea tonight.
"If we win at Stamford Bridge then I am sure Fergie will have a little drink," he told the Sunday Mirror.
"Mind you, I'd hope to get more than one bottle sent from Old Trafford myself if we beat Chelsea. They haven't lost at home for four years, so I'd expect to get a case of the good stuff if we get a result down there.
"It's a long time since I've had any influence on a title race and to be honest I haven't even been thinking of this one because I've been concentrating on the other end of the table.
"We play both Chelsea and United in our last five games and we still need points ourselves to make sure that we're safe.
"Our home form has been good and if we can take that to Stamford Bridge on Monday night and they have an off-day then we could give them a hell of a game. We need a result as much as they do.
"People have been giving us pats on the back all week, so I've had to bring the players down a peg or two so they know we are not yet safe."

Tabata's predictions never come true...
Come on Wigan
chelsea will drop points this week... Im convinced of it.
And we will retain our crown by ending their home record.
Its just a beautiful season.

C'Mon Scharner, me homie, make me proud!
i think wigan will get something here.
Common sense say Wigan will lose. Tbh nobody expects them to get something against Chelsea. They just can try to do their best and hope to get something from the game.
I just expect they dont sit back and defend, they should at least attack a little bit.

i dont think so
Chelsea play today and Thursday, so if they win them both they will be level on points with us.
chelsea 15-0 wigan
future world player of the year lampard with 6 goals
future human activist john terry with 3 headers
future oscar winnner drogbeth with 3 goals
future mathematician einstein sorry essein with 2 goals
and finally the amazing chelsea fans decide to score a goal themselves after booing grant becuase chelsea could only score 14 goals and mainly because he looks ugly as feck
Its all written you know.

everton will give them a hard game.
If they had of played them a month ago or so I would have agreed with you, but Everton has faded in the past few weeks and look fatigued. Expect Chelsea to nick it 1-0.
Line-ups?
I doubt that. Just hope they can draw at least in their own ground.
someone put £1000 on chelsea to win
Petr Cech is almost wearing a full-on mask 
1-1
Late Wigan equalizer

If your life depends on that prediction, would you keep it?
Petr Cech is almost wearing a full-on mask
We need pics, reckon he will get a screamer smashing right into his face?
Lampard has withdrawn. It's a weakened Chelsea side out there; Wigan couldn't have asked for more, they've just got to deliver now.
Wigan are going to nick a point.
A demoralised Chelsea will then be beaten by the Evertonians who still hope of taking 4th spot from the dippers

Let me guess.
Heskey and Bent both deliver a brace for it to finish 4-4?
It's fecking Wigan, children. Emile fecking donkey-paced Heskey.
Marcus Bent to score, the great player that he is.
I've just put a fiver on this being a draw. Betfair, 5.8 odds.
Ryan Taylor is dangerous on set pieces hopefully he can curl one in. Chelsea have had a few close games with Wigan recently but will probably come throuh by a goal or two, I just hope they don't score another early goal, let them feel the pressure.
No.
We can't have streams posted on here - the Premier League has a flock of vulture lawyers who 'crack down' on evil horrible web-pirates of their high quality "product".
We have gotten nasty notes before, and it isn't worth it to Niall to get into any trouble.
So you'll be rooting against your own team tonight?
Massive stuff. If we win the title will you be buying our new home shirt in the summer?
why has he withdrawn?
Crazier things have happened than Wigan getting a point at the Bridge, like Sunderland drawing 0-0 with us a couple of seasons ago at Old Trafford
You are going to lose your fiver.... when Wigan win
seriously though... Chelsea 3-0 Wigan.
Noticed the all you can eat is closing tomorrow so it's his last chance to get a good session in
Julius Aghahowa I don' think he has a goal for Wigan in over 12 months.
Obi Mikel just now on Setanta: "How can we be an underdog team? We have one of the biggest stars in the world."
He's not half full of himself, is he?

Hmm, who's in the running for Player of the year from Chelsea like?
Joe Cole will win our player of the year. Carvalho has also been mostly excellent.
Edit, sorry. Missed your sarcasm first time around!
